Seen it?

Overview

21 monologues written by American playwrights form a sort of fractured portrait of the American collective psyche. Ranging from the sad to the hilarious, from the angry to the tentatively celebratory, many of the major and recurrent issues associated with our fraught but beloved union are reconsidered with elegance, wit, brutal honesty, and a little outright insanity.

Shot in a bare rehearsal room, the project finds Hartley adapting his style-in which the movement of actors is often choreographed around a severe camera angle-to each writer and performer.
